Well, its official. I am never going to be a real diver. :no My Story: We went spear fishing in the Gulf of Mexico this past weekend. This was my first spear fishing adventure and I was looking forward to it. Saturday went off without a hitch and I even got my first two kills. Sunday came and we were at it again. About 3/4 way through the day, trying to keep hydrated, the old pain started rising in the kidneys and I knew I would have to pee very soon. It was going to be my turn to stay on the boat next while the rest dove, so I knew I could get relief in the next 30 minutes or so. As it turned out, the rest werent going to dive and I was chosen as one of only two to splash on this dive. (The last of the day and the weekend) So, we geared up and went in. I got down to the bottom and knew I was going to have to go. No matter what I did, I couldnt make it happen in my wetsuit. I tried everything I could think of. I even entertained the idea of stripping down behind the wreck we were diving and doing au la natural but, the thought of the other guy spear fishing coming around the corner while my gear lay on the bottom and the rest of my gear hanging out didnt enthuse me, so I just dealt with not being able to go at depth. So, the next thought was, when we surfaced, Id hang out to the side while he climbed the ladder and Id do it then. The surface chop had gotten so bad while we were down, I didnt even think about it while I waited for my turn. I was trying to not get hit by the boat. I was never so glad to see the marina as I was when we docked that afternoon. Luckily, the office folks were very accommodating with their bathroom. They even asked why I didnt go in my wetsuit and I told them the story. So, as I stated at the beginning: Its official: Ill never be a real diver because I cant pee in my wetsuit.
